<p>Keith - What are your hopes/predictions for the team that you think might be too high?  I think they could finish any where from 4-8 in the Big Ten. I think they make the NCAA tourney where they win their first game.    I am not sure I would say they are
 a Top 25 team but I would put them in the top 35 or so. <br>
